# Brent Crude Oil Price: $95.84 Sunday Before the Futures Open, Iran Mine Claims, Bull $98, Bear $91

> Brent crude futures opened Sunday at $95.84, Friday's settlement, after a second straight weekly decline of about 2.5 percent. Iran said three oil tankers hit naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a claim the US military disputes, and shipping through the strait remains about 65 percent below pre-war levels.

## Why it matters

Oil price moves feed into diesel, freight and fertilizer costs for feed production, so the mine claims add upside risk. The supply surplus behind the two weekly losses has not changed, which limits the likely rally.
